Abstract: The present invention is an improved system of wall siding which provides a aesthetically appealing, weather resistant and maintenance free house cladding which has the appearance of wood siding. The system includes a plurality of elongated composite siding boards for mounting to the wall studs, each composite siding board having a length, opposite outer and inner sides and opposite upper and lower edges. The upper edge of each board has a tongue formed thereon which extends along the entire length of the siding board. The opposite lower edge has a groove formed thereon which also extends the entire length of the siding board. Each board has a shoulder portion extending from the inner side of the siding board adjacent the lower edge. The groove is formed on the shoulder adjacent the lower edge.

Abstract: A composite handrail system comprises a plurality of upright posts. A plurality of composite rails extends between adjacent upright posts at two points on the adjacent upright posts, the composite rails each having an internal reinforcing element, friction fitted into a composite channel extending longitudinally inside each composite rail, and a composite cover friction fitted over each composite channel. A plurality of composite sleeve-spindles extends between the composite rails, and a plurality of connectors couples the composite rails to the composite sleeve-spindles. The connectors are adapted to be mounted to the composite rails, and are adapted to receive and friction fit to the composite sleeve-spindles.
